What will be the pace of this study group?

[/ QUOTE ]

I plan on running it on a 4 to 6 week schedule. There will be "x" number of pages assigned each week. I want to keep a pace that will maintain everyone's interest but still go slow enough that the excellent material in NLHTP can be digested and understood by everyone. The reading for Week I will be available on August 1st.

Great, thanks.

The ease to witch the authors leave out certain basic concepts in the book(as Miller pointed out) makes that it requires this basic knowledge for a smooth reading. To a novice I'd recommend reading and understanding TOP concepts before studying this one to avoid a struggle. To a knowledgable student it is a relief to find no words are wasted trying to make a complex point clear. However certain 'eye opening' mathematical illustrations reward time and thought. If you skim the pages and try to read them as quickly as possible you'll miss out on the deeper level thinking and will sell yourself short, unless you plan to read it twice. The book is an absolute musthave and a 'fine-tuner'. Every aspiring player should buy it, however don't put it on TOP of your must-read-list.
As the start-poster of the NLHTAP study group on the Dutch Poker forum I applaud this initiative and look forward to indepth analysis.

I've already read NLHTP, and I'm anxious to start my second reading, and think that the group study would strengthen my understanding so....
